Build Your Sketch Holiday Cardmakers Card Sketch For April

 Hello everyone.  Happy April.  I'm so happy to share a New Sketch from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 56.  This is a fun sketch that I believe you can use your scrap pattern papers.  A great way to use what you have to get your Holiday cards ready early for the year.

I chose some retired Prima pattern papers from a Christmas 6x6 paper pack called Santa Baby.  I love the pinks and mint in this collection.  I cut my papers accordingly to the sketch reference.  I stamped a cute gingerbread man stamp from a Unity Stamp Co. advent calendar set with black ink and colored it in simply.  I also fussy cut it out.  I felt it went with the gingerbread house and cookies and milk them from my pattern papers.

I used a chevron patterned A2 card base for my card with a sentiment strip ready for me from my stash from a retired Waffle Flower Label Maker Sentiments Stamp and Coordinating die.  I hope you join us this month we always have a prize.  Visit our FB group for lots of inspiration and a album for you to upload your card sketch project.

Another Card for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch Card Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm back with another card  for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 55.  I hope you are enjoying the sketch as much as I am. I think you can batch a lot of Holiday cards using this sketch.  Pink & Main is our sponsor this month for a $25 GC. That's so amazing.

On this card, I used this cute Gingerbread man from Pink & Main Sugar and Spice Holidays stamp set. I stamped the cute image on white cardstock using the measurement from the sketch using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored it in with my copic markers.  I think the elements for this sketch is great for a small image or ephemera.  My sentiment was stamped in black ink from Pink & Main Hello Winter Stamp.

I used some pattern paper from my stash using the sketch measurements and glued everything to a A2 card base.  I love this card.  I hope you join us this month you still have time and there is a amazing prize.  I love Pink & Main.  Just upload your card to the FB group in the album for sketch 55.

Spring Card Using Savannah Girl

 Hello and Happy Spring.  I have a card today using Savannah Girl from Unity Stamp Co. who is a Angie Girl by Angie Blom. I fell in love with this set when I saw it.  I might have shouted out loud.  And of course I hurried and made a card with it when I received it.

I first stamped and heat embossed Savannah Girl rubber stamp on x-press blending cardstock using Versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  I then colored her in using my alcohol markers.  Next, I cut my paper using my paper trimmer.  I then ink blended with some blue ink left on my blending brush from a previous project.  

I then used a notebook edge die from MFT Stamps.  I also used a foiled plate background from my stash.  This one is from Aly Syberia called Glowing Geometry using black foil on white cardstock.  The floral pattern paper is from Catherine Pooler that I cut to use as a layer.  The Clouds die is retired from MFT Stamps called Petite Clouds that I cut out with white cardstock. 

 Lastly, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Savannah Girl stamp using Versamark and white embossing powder on blue cardstock.  I fussy cut around it to fit better.  Next, I glued my foiled background to a A2 card base.  I also glued my floral pattern paper from Catherine Pooler's A Little Drizzle Paper Pad.  I popped up Savannah with foam tape and I popped up 2 clouds with foam tape.  My sentiment was also popped up with foam tape.  Everything was glued with liquid glue.  I love how my card came out, it was a lot of fun.

Card Sketch Using A St. Patrick's Day Gnome

 Hello I have a fun St. Patrick's Day Card today.  I used a Digital Stamp Illustrated by Crystal Minkler.  You can grab this Digital stamp for free if you are a Member of the Tawny Owl FB Group.  I chose to use my Gnome for the Top Inky Inspiration Sketch 30.

This is the Lucky Gnomie Digital Stamp Illustrated my Crystal Minkler isn't it cute?  I printed it on some Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds and then colored it with my alcohol markers.  I then fussy cut her out.

I found some Doodlebug Design Pattern Paper 6x6 in my stash.  I cut the flowers and stripes pattern paper according to the sketch 2 x 5 1/4.  I basically used 1 sheet double sided.  I like that the papers coordinate nicely. I used the Lucky Gnomie as my Any Shape.  The flower ephemera is also from Doodlebug and it's considered my other any shape.  

I found some Chevron Pattern paper A2 card bases in my stash,  so I used this as my 4 1/4 x 5 1/ 2.  I had the green sentiment strip in my stash using Taylored Expressions that I glued to a white strip as the card sketch.  I had so much fun with this card.  Thanks to Crystal for this fun sketch and digital stamp.  I also we be linking my card to the Simon Says Stamp A Bit O' Green Monday Challenge. I love using Pattern Paper and sketches for favorite techniques on my cards.

Sympathy Cards For Woodblock Wednesday

 Hello I have some Sympathy Cards today using some woodblock stamps from my stash for the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge.

Here are my Woodblock Stamps for my project today.  A Hero Arts Sentiment Stamp and others from Garage Sales 

Here is the first card I made, I used Canson 140 pounds watercolor paper.  I first started stamping in Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink, Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink, Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink, and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink.  I would just stamp and spray with water directly on the stamp or I would spray my paper.  I had a lot of fun.  I did stamp the sentiment with Versafine Onyx ink in the center.

I cut my stamped background with a Lawn Fawn Large Mini Slimline Stackables die.  I added foam to the back layered it some Indigo colored cardstock and glued it to a card base.  I then embellished with some blue sequins.

Since I had some watercolor paper on my desk, I decided to make another card.  Stamping the same way except less water sprayed on my paper for a cleaner look.  I then cut this one out with a MFT Stamps rectangle die and layered it also on the same Indigo cardstock with foam tape and with sequins.  

And here is another Look at my cards.  I had so much fun playing with these woodblock stamps and now I have 2 cards added to my stash. Thank you for taking a look! And Thank you Amy for this fun Challenge.

Spring Fling Challenge For Lawn Fawnatics 191

 Hello I'm excited to participate in a Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Spring Fling #191.  I used a lot of fun Lawn Fawn products for this card.

I thought it would be fun to used the Spring Critter Huggers Die Set.  I hadn't ever used this set and I purchased it when it was released. I know I have missed out.  I was so happy to use it yay.  I decided to make a brown bunny so I cut out the main outline bunny in brown paper 85 pounds.  I then cut out the cheeks, ears, tummy, and nose in pink paper 110 pounds.  Next, I cut out the mouth and eyes in black paper 110 pounds and later the feet in matching paper as the bunny.  The tail was cut out with white paper 110 pounds.

I used the die for the bunny whiskers and placed that die on my bunny and ran it through my die cutting machine.  I then glued everything to my bunny.  I wanted my bunny to hold something so I stamped some tulips from the Eggstra Special Easter stamp set with Memento tuxedo ink.  I colored them in with my OLO markers and Copic Markers. I then cut the tulips out with the coordinating dies.  

I used the Scalloped Rectangle Stackables die to cut out some Flower Market pattern paper in the purple for my background.  I used some green paper 85 pounds with the Meadow Backdrop Landscape die to give me some grass for my bunny.  I cut out a bow from the Put A Bow On It die set using the smaller bow in pink paper.

I glued everything to a pink A2 110 pound card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I used a white gel pen for some accents on my bunny.  I also inked my bunny along the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink and a blending brush.

Here is the inside,  I masked my sentiment from the Celebrations Scripty Sentiments Stamp that I stamped with black ink on another scalloped rectangle stackable die that I cut out with white paper 110 pounds.  I hope you like my card I had so much fun making it.
